Condolences
So sorry to hear this. My deepest condolences Michelle and Jenny.
I spent many good times with Dave. We were roommates when we worked at Fairmont Specialty Services back in the early 1990s. I played card games in Idamay at Dave's family home with Bud, Danny, Dave, and the Sillman family. Dave and I played on a dart league at the Meadowbrook Bar. I had nothing but good times with Dave when we would let loose after work. GOD Speed my dear old friend...until we meet again. GOD Bless the Sillman family during these difficult times. -Brian Swidler
